SFU AtoM

Also held by "Moving Images Distribution" in video and 16mm formats: "This passionate and poetic work explores the social pressures experienced by a lesbian mother who is deaf. Dramatization, front screen projection, distorted sound, and optical printing effects convey a sense of the isolation, struggle, determination and love that characterize this woman's life. In particular, viewers are drawn into the world of this deaf woman by the filmmaker's manipulation of sound--removing soft consonants from spoken words and eliminating sound altogether when the speaker no longer faces the camera--to mimic the way a deaf person hears. The film "contains a marvellous passage where light rays leave their trace on silver halide crystals. This light writing is achieved by signing in the dark with a penlight as the voice-over translates the prose piece, 'Lullyby,' by W.H. Auden." (Maria Insell)" 20 min., 1987 [http://www.movingimages.ca/catalogue/Experimental/Experimental_t.html#RTFToC58a] The film also won honourable mention for experimental film at the 18th Canadian Student Film Festival in 1987 (Montreal): http://www.ffm-montreal.org/palmares/en_etud_1987.html. The director, Valerie Tereszko (who is also hearing impaired) continues to work in cinema.
